Derek Shows us 2 Disc Dyeing Techniques(12 Days of Gatekeeper Media) Day 9
Join Derek on Day 9 of his "12 Days of Gatekeeper Media" series as he dives into two disc dyeing techniques that are perfect for beginners. First up, he'll show you how to achieve a star effect using the shaving cream mound dye method, a technique that's easy to master and requires minimal equipment - just shaving cream, medium, and a blank disc. Derek will share his tips on kneading out air pockets and smoothing out the lather to get a professional-looking finish. He'll also demonstrate how to use traditional dye with synthetic RIT dye, which is essential for achieving a strong bond between the disc and the colorant. With a little practice, viewers can achieve unique and eye-catching designs, just like Derek does in this video - featuring his beloved orange disc, Holly Bean, as well as a review of the JLS Millennium golf discs and Nick Hansen's Clinic discs from 2023.
